in breach of edict.

the Summer sunset,
but light won’t be pent.

so one eye is upon me,
something grows cold.

of an unseen vehicle
runs down the dirt road.

Agent of Entropy [Senryū]

a thousand hikers suppress
the urge to kick.

Photograph taken from a bridge over the Tamsui River in Taipei, Taiwan on a rainy day.
from mid-bridge, 
above the sprawling river:
the city, silent.

its red cap
gives the mushroom away,
hiding in leaf litter.
